    This is absolutely bonkers... it's just a miniaturised USB-powered glade plug-in right? Why would anyone want one of these???

    100 alerts/cartridge? Not much use as a call/text or email alert then. Plus it's only meant for use when left out on the side (unless you fancy a damp lavender smelling pocket), so the alarm-type alert makes sense, but then why not have a larger cartridge if it isn't for use on the go?

    Modify to a larger cartridge, add in a new range of Evil(TM) smells, then use them in call centres with a release every time a complaint is received. Suddenly I wouldn't mind the non-free (lo-call) rate complaints numbers so much.

    I honestly can't see a practical use of this device (unless paired with a body-odour or flatulence detector) - it strikes me as one of those "we did this because we could" gadgets.

    Only in Japan ...

    There's something very fishy about this.

    "However the FAQ says that there is one scent in a particular cartridge so you would have to switch cartridges to get different smells during the day"
    So the concept of caller-smell-ID goes out the window!
